The Photo Archival Company™ Franchise Information:

Life is about the days. It's about the remembering the birthdays, the wedding days, graduation day, or even the typical Monday. We exist to help our customers preserve, share and archive their photo, audio, film and videotape assets for the days to come.

We primarily work with families, but our organization has also serviced many Fortune 500 companies, universities, churches, and even the Federal government. We were praised for the quality of our product by The New York Times in 2007.

If you have an interest in graphics arts, like working with people and technology and are looking for a chance to be your own boss, we'd love to hear from you.

Our initial franchise fee of $25,000 is being waived until March 31, 2011. Instead, pay a onetime training fee of $3,500 that covers your one-week training program in Atlanta. In addition to the training fee, new franchise owners should be prepared to invest just under $10,000 in hardware and software and acquire start-up inventory.

This is TPAC branded software that automates many tasks such as turning photos into a web galleries, converting video into iPhone/iPad viewable movies, generating FedEx shipping labels, credit card processing, barcode inventory, and sending customers e-mail with status information.
